An architectural/space
planning firm moved its office into 5,000 square feet
of a 38,000-square-foot,
single-story brick and glass
building in a corporate
park. The firm’s rectangular space measures roughly
38 feet by 13 feet, allowing a linear design with windows for every
office. The interior of the office space accomodates library, printing and filing functions.

The building’s pitched roof enabled a sloped ceiling in the staff
area. Partial height walls were used to create an open feeling. Offices have no doors and utilize glass and aluminum storefront panels. Three colors of gray, low-VOC paint were combined with red
and yellow accents that reflect the firm’s logo. The floor consists
of a pattern of polished 14-inch by 28-inch ceramic tiles. Energy-efficient lighting includes suspended pendants in the vaulted space
and deep-cell parabolics in the print and library areas.

TOTAL 100% $98.13 $500,471Adaptive Reuse ofIndustrial FacilityThis project convertedan industrial facility into5,100 square feet of officewith a reception area,conference and boardroom, main work space,private offices, kitchen,lounge and support space.The main work space is characteried by deep steel trusses. Itreceives daylight from three new skylights and existing highwindows.

Roof framing that slopes upward from the interior corridor
to the exterior walls presented an opportunity to create more
space by creating a mezzanine level. This level contains a director’s office enclosed with transparent glass to allow daylight to
reach the floor below. It also houses an unenclosed, informal
conference room, kitchen and coffee bar that have exterior
views. The mezzanine stair is supported by an exposed steel
stringer with steel and wire mesh railing components. B
